It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2016); the latest reading is one band lower.

The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 79.8% above the 2007 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 50.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs).
